Rollers can be positioned on the shaft with like poles together to create a strong, compact magnetic field. In general, drive rollers are important in making a roller conveyor system to work properly. Without a drive roller, many rolling conveyor systems and conveyor belt systems would come to a standstill. No matter how many drive rollers the system employs, the rollers are charged with the same task wherever they are placed: that is to keep the conveyor and product flow moving consistently.

Industries that apply the use of drive rollers include automotive manufacturing, healthcare, mining, office equipment design, and lumber. Other industries include construction, food and beverage, packaging, chemical processing and more. Different styles of drive rollers are manufactured for varying applications, and differences include varying load carrying capabilities, surface area design and material strength.

All Measurements are in inches (unless otherwise noted)

Direction of Magnetization (DOM) is through the thickness unless noted

Unless otherwise specified, magnets will be furnished in magnetized condition

Holding forces are approximate. These are average values obtained under laboratory conditions. Size, shape, and material of the test piece may affect actual pull forces

What are Ceramic Magnets?
Ceramic or ferrite magnets are low cost and light weight, and are a relatively high energy member of the permanent magnet family. Iron oxide and strontium carbonate, the two …
